AJ Dybantsa Records 33-Point Triple-Double as No. 10 BYU Finishes Nonconference 12-1

The showing capped BYU’s 12-1 nonconference run ahead of a Jan. 3 Big 12 opener at Kansas State.

Overview

  • The freshman tallied 33 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists on 11-for-13 shooting in a 109-81 win over Eastern Washington.
  • It was BYU’s first triple-double since 2016 and the program’s first-ever 30-point triple-double.
  • At 18 years and 329 days, Dybantsa became the youngest player in NCAA history to post a 30-point triple-double.
  • OptaSTATS reports Dybantsa produced the only D-I or NBA calendar month in 30 seasons with 25+ points, 5+ rebounds and 5+ assists per game on 65% shooting with an undefeated record (minimum five games).
  • BYU closed a four-game homestand unbeaten; G League veteran Abdullah Ahmed debuted to add frontcourt depth as defensive lapses and turnovers remain areas to tighten before Big 12 play.
